Translation
There are three Pythochrestoi1, whose task it is to purify those in the grip of a certain curse. Also those expounding the ancestral customs.2
And Herodotus [writes]: "you are expounder of matters good for the house of the King, and all this advice of yours is sound".3
Expounder, in a special sense, [means] the man expounding the rites. There are also [rites] relating to what is named4 for the dead, which they used to expound if need be.
